Children’s Minister @NatalieDon_ visited @KirkhillPS to see how spatial learning resources support classrooms as part of @UofGlasgow’s STEM Space pilot, co funded by @ScotGov and the @TurnerKirkTrust. Spatial learning boosts maths and STEM. ➡️bit.ly/468A5Ov

Really good problem solving opportunity when using a mix of flier and clear. What is the logical explanation for what can been seen. Helps learners form strong understanding of element layout.

Intriguing analogy here to explain how the CSS float property affects HTML elements!

Comprehensive testing is important in wdd but also in ddd and sdd. A good opportunity to reinforce this important skill.

Generative AI can be used to create question contexts. Potentially a useful timesaver.

Some algorithms place a higher cognitive load on learners. Good to recognise this when presenting code to learners.

Sdd session is digging into standard algorithms this evening. Great to have CS teachers in the room at the very start of term.
